I predict functional extinction within 100 years. I all but guarantee the us will be entering a major long term famine within 5. Shits about to be really fucking bad and it’s to late to do shit about it. Humanity deserves whatever happens to it, bunch of fucking dipshits.
Edit for clarity: 5yrs is my most optimistic prediction. Could very well and likely will be significantly sooner.
the race won't go extinct...we're animals, no matter how much we try to deny it, and the same thing that happens with animals will happen to us...we're over breeding...so we'll die off, till we match our resources.
the pollution we're spreading now will go away when there is no one running the factories, no one running huge commercial farms, no one strip cutting the worlds forests, when no one is dumping plastic into the ocean by the ton...when the population stabilizes, it will be under 1 billion, and if the survivors learn anything from the experience, they'll stay close to that in the future...this would be a wonderland of plenty with a population of 1 billion..and no one dumping industrial waste into it 24/7
